The Supporting Organizations shall ensure that, at any given time, no two Directors nominated by a Supporting Organization are citizens from the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region. For purposes of this Section 7.2(c), if any candidate for Director maintains citizenship or Domicile of more than one country, that candidate may be deemed to be from either country and must select in his or her Statement of Interest the country of citizenship or Domicile that he or she wants the Supporting Organization or the At-Large Community, as applicable, to use for nomination purposes. For purposes of this Section 7.2(c), a person can only have one Domicile, which shall be determined by where the candidate has a permanent residence and place of habitation." Katrina Sataki, occupying Board Seat 12, has her domicile in Latvia, EU-region. * Employment by a ccTLD As per 3.4 of the ccNSO Guideline: ccNSO Nominations process ICANN Board seats 11 and 12<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/ccnso-nomination…> : "Candidates are not required to be employed by a ccTLD in order to be able to be nominated, but if there is an employment or other relationship, that should be disclosed by the candidate as part of their Candidate Statement." Accepting nominations and due diligence verifications After closure of the nomination period, the Nomination Process Manager will ascertain whether the nominee(s) formally accept their nomination(s). The deadline to accept nominations is 15 August 2022 (23:59 UTC). On Tuesday, 16 August 2022 (latest by 23:59 UTC), the Nomination Process Manager shall provide a list with the name(s) of the candidate(s) who have accepted their nomination. Also, a record of who has nominated and seconded the candidate(s)<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ccnso-boardnominations/> is publicly available. By acceptance of the nomination, a nominee warrants, is aware of, and consents to: * The Country of Citizenship or Domicile included in the nomination form; * Not to hold a position as an official of a national government or a multinational entity (section 7.4 (a) of the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7>; * Section 7.4 (b) of the ICANN Bylaws;<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7> * Section 7.4 (d) of the ICANN Bylaws;<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7> * Fully cooperate to undergo a due diligence screening by an external provider, which includes providing necessary consent to ICANN to transmit personal data to the due diligence provider. Candidates need to be aware that they will be approached by the external due diligence provider to sign a consent form before the actual due diligence will begin. The scope of this background check is described in: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-uniform-board-integrit…. In the event a candidate does not provide consent or rescinds the consent to undergo the due diligence process, the Council will be informed, and the candidacy of that person will be ended. After completion of the due diligence process, the Chair of the ccNSO Council will be informed of the outcome and inform the Council (with the exception of potential candidate(s) who are Councillor), i.e., only whether concerns have surfaced, which warrant further consideration and decisions. Candidate Statements The Nomination Process Manager will ask candidate(s) to provide a written candidate statement. A virtual Q&A session with the candidate(s) will be held in the end October/start November timeframe, post ICANN75. The Q&A session gives the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community an opportunity to interact with the candidates. In preparation of the Q&A session, the written candidate statements will be posted on the ccNSO website. Elections Bylaw Article 10 – Section 10.3 (i)<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article10> states: "(i) The ccNSO Council shall nominate individuals to fill Seats 11 and 12 on the Board by written ballot or by action at a meeting; any such nomination must have affirmative votes of a majority of all the members of the ccNSO Council then in office. Notification of the ccNSO Council's nominations shall be given by the ccNSO Council Chair in writing to the EC Administration, with a copy to the Secretary, and the EC shall promptly act on it as provided in Section 7.25." Even if there is only one candidate that accepted nomination for ICANN Board seat number 11, an election will be held, to allow the ccNSO members to either cast their vote for the candidate, or to select the option "none of the above". The ccNSO Council and ccNSO members have agreed that the ccNSO members shall propose and elect candidates for the two ICANN Board seats allocated to the ccNSO, and that the winner of said election - i.e. the candidate that receives the majority of the votes cast - shall in turn be nominated to the ICANN Board seat by a majority vote of the ccNSO Council. The timeline for the elections is posted in the links-section below: further instructions will be provided by the Nomination Process Manager closer to the start of the elections, in November 2022.

If either or both of the items identified at 5.2 of the Retirement Policy Recommendations are not within the delegation and transfer exclusion from the IRP, then are the ICANN org and Board to understand that the ccNSO Council, through the Retirement Policy Recommendations, are seeking an additional IRP exclusion from the ICANN Bylaws? To ensure the issue identified by ICANN legal is resolved i.e. it is clarified all matters relating to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement are to be excluded from ICANN’s Independent Review Mechanism and Reconsideration process, the ccNSO Council took the initiative to respond and clarify the position of the ccNSO in this matter. By doing so the Council wants to ensure that the Board’s consideration process of the proposed retirement policy will be completed. The final draft of the letter was circulated to the ccNSO Councillors as Document: item 13 meeting 185, letter July 2022. Decision The ccNSO Council suppors the letter Document: item 13 meeting 185, letter July 2022, and requests its chair to send it to: ICANN Legal, the chair of the Ad-Hoc Board Group, preparing the discussion of the proposed policy by the full ICANN Board, ICANN’s CEO and President and the chairs of the ccNSO PDP3 and 4 WGs.

The GRC presented the proposed changes to the community at ICANN74. As next step the 2022 Internal Rules need to be adopted by both Council and Membership. The change mechanism is described in section 4.1 of the Rules. “First, and after consultation of the ccNSO Membership, at least 14 members of the ccNSO Council must vote in favor to adopt the proposed amendment of the Rules.

The goal is that the Council is in a position to adopt the amended Rules by its next meeting, and circulate the proposed Rules prior to ICANN75 and call for a membership vote, which should start one week after ICANN75. 1. Amendment of Guidelines: 1) ccNSO Board Seat 11 and 12 Nomination Process & 2) Council Election process. The changes of Article 10 and Annex B of the Bylaws have become effective. As a result the Guidelines: 1) ccNSO Board Seat 11 and 12 Nomination Process & 2) Council Election process both need to be updated. The GRC presented the proposed changes to the Guidelines community at ICANN74. The change mechanism is described in section 4.2 of the 2022 Rules: “Before voting on the adoption of the Operating Procedure, the ccNSO Council must consult the Members of the ccNSO. The ccNSO Council decision to adopt an Operating Procedure is subject to the Members Veto Mechanism.” To do: The ccNSO Council requests the secretariat to inform the Council as soon as feasible about next steps with respect to adoption process of the Guidelines: 1) ccNSO Board Seat 11 and 12 Nomination Process & 2) Council Election process 1.
